GoMk

An opinionated Makefile for Go projects.

Use cases

• How would you implement a building workflow using Go alongside other technologies?
• Do you remember how to run the commands to check the test coverage of you Go project?

Usage

• Download go.mk to your project:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hgfischer/gomk/master/go.mk

• include go.mk in a new or existing Makefile;
• Check Makefile.sample to see some examples on how to integrate with your own build workflow:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hgfischer/gomk/master/Makefile.sample

How it works

GoMk defines default variables and targets for a Go project, to help maintain a healthy project. It also checks your current Go environment.

Predefined variables

• APPBIN: name of the application, based on the repository name
• GOSOURCES: all .go files inside the project repository
• GOPKGS: all Go pkgs inside the project repository

NOTE: Check the go.mk file for other predefined variables that may conflict with other variables defined in your Makefile.

Predefined targets

• gomkbuild: build the application binary, if there is one
• gomkxbuild: build all cross-platform binaries, using gox
• gomkclean: clean the project directory of the files produced by go.mk
• gomkupdate: update your go.mk file
• vet: run go tool vet in each source file
• lint: run golint in each source file
• fmt: run go fmt in the entire project
• test: run go test for all pkgs in the project
• race: run go test with race detection in all pkgs in the project
• deps: install all deps needed by the project
• cover: run tests with coverage report in all pkgs in the projects
• printvars: print all variables defined in the Makefile

Godep support (optional)

• savegodeps: save all deps with godep
• restoregodeps: restore all deps with godep
• updategodeps: update all deps with godep

TODO

• Add targets for other tools
• Add support for gb
